Default First Grow-- CFL 12-12 from Seed
Like the title say this is my first grow. Im using 4 27watt CFL's. Im growing with a 12-12 light schedule from the start mainly because I would rather sacrifice the yield size in exchange for a shorter grow, germination to harvest. Right now I have one plant that I actually did veg for about a week and a half, but in that time I did so many things wrong that is is visibly waaay behind schedule and is tiny. It is definitely female and has a good bit of hairs, for being as pitiful of a plant that it is. I just germinated another seed, and got it in a cup and under the light yesterday. Pics:

These are pics from about 5 minutes ago. The little one is coming along pretty good. The big one, Im just going to let her finish up and enjoy my few grams from it haha. I put in an oscillating fan about a week ago, so the little one will hopefully have a thicker, stronger stem.

It reminds me of the lead gremlin in the Gremlin movies.

Really interesting grow though, it's been fun to read.

Yea I know. Thats what I had planned on doing, but I just kept messing things up, and believe me, that thing didnt grow an inch for over a week (I originally said I vegged for a week and a half, but it was a little longer, it just didnt grow past a week and a half haha), so I switched it over before I killed it ha. I plan on adding another plant when the bigger one is about 2 weeks from done, so I will get some type of yield every so often.
New Pics later on today.

hey you said a couple of grams? ha ha ha bro you will be lucky if you even get 1 gram out of that plant , you should of let it grow a hella lot longer, go read some threads and people let there plants grow for a long while and get like 120grams wet and when dry the only get an ounce if that , when drying and curing you lose about 80% of weight to it so think about it from 4 ounces wet to 1 ounce dry and cured. and that little buddy is going to grow maybe 1 gram wet and dry and cured you will get about 1 small hit . put it into veg stage again and the other 1 might catch up with it and then you can yeild a little bit more bro .

my plant is 4 feet tall and i flowered it at 20 inches and thats how much it stretched and im going to be lucky if i get about 2 ounces off of it

I usually get 50% dry of what it weighed when harvested. I also think you need more light and veg should be 24hr. Also you need a mix of 6500k light and 2700k light in all stages.
